PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 2010-008, REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 2010-007 AND WITHDRAWING APPLICATION FOR ACQUIRING SURPLUS FEDERAL LAND FROM UNITED STATES HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT ) )Legal Counsel Kay Bigelow commented this repeals the former resolution and removes one of the methods of obtaining the Central Arizona Project parcel for no cost or nearly no cost.Pinal County is still on the hook to pay for it at a negotiated price.This resolution is required so that the district is not going after the low cost or no cost method. Vice Chairperson Eck asked if this is basically giving the district the opportunity to purchase it.He asked if this is stating it will not cost the district anything to purchase the parcel. Legal Counsel Kay Bigelow stated that is correct.The district will not pay anything for the purchase of the property.This particular methodology that they had signed up for was difficult and could have added a restriction to separate it into two parcels.They wanted us to have a water treatment facility within 36 months.They thought they would do the first phase of it and the next phase would be a negotiated sale.It would have caused too many problems. Vice Chairperson Eck commented the 36 months is out. Legal Counsel Kay Bigelow stated that is correct.By removing this as a methodology, there will be a direct sale that will be negotiated with the district and Central Arizona Project in the room, as well as Water Utilities Community Facilities District Meeting Minutes of September 7, 2010 Page 2 of 5 Pinal County, since Pinal County is writing the check.Pinal County agrees to have this removed.
